Meldrick Taylor ruined Meldrick Taylor.....he was a very fast fisted, quick and slick boxer puncher but since he fought out of Philadelphia he wanted to brawl and he tried his hand at it and it shortened his career making him THE stereotypical "Philadelphia Fighter" meaning he was better in the gym than on fight night. Taylor should have been a slick boxer witht he ability to throw punches in bunches while avoiding punches in return.....but his pride got the best of him.


This is why you can't randomly hate on guys who do decide it's best if they use a bit more defense, a bit more caution in boxing...not everyone is a face first brawler
